Recently I installed SuSE Linux 8.1 and the gnu-emacs version from that distribution. The following happens : 1) After Command --> Print --> Local, it takes ages until the printer starts. (Initially I thought it did not work at all and switched off the printer after some time. The revenge of the printer was to produce a number of rubbish pages when I turned it on later.) With more patience then, the first page coming out is simply white, completely untouched. Afterwards, the printed document is nice as expected. Why does the printing process always begin with an empty page? 2) After Command --> Print --> ps, the minibuffer says "done", but no .ps file is produced. If I want a .ps file, I must apply the dvips command separately, i.e. not from emacs. How can I tell emacs to transform a .tex (or .dvi) file into a .ps file (as it should)? (Unlike in the past, the printing process in SuSE Linux 8.1 is now managed by the program cups. But that should not imply that it works worse than before, should it?) Regards, Hartmut
